Broadway Club

[Disney.Ears]

Whaaaaaaa?

THEY'RE TAKING OFF HAIRSPRAY AND ALL THAT GOOD STUFF...

FOR SPIDERMAN AND SHREK THE MUSICAL?!?!

Isn't it dreadful? Broadway was pissing me off when I found that out.

Totally. If they take off Wicked, Spring Awakening, Lion King, or Phantom...all my faith in B'way will be wayyyyyy gone.

Broadway seems to be relying on the Movie industry way too much lately. I mean we all know Disney has made Broadway lots of cash and also Disney has made a ton from the musicals and then there is Legally Blonde, but I just hope it doesn't go overboard like Disney Films with the sequels.

 

[Realgrumpy]

We should have a little memorial for RENT, and Legally Blonde. Oh, and Hairspray

...add Xanadu to that list. I loved it, and really would've liked to see it again.

Yeah and [title of show], and Spamalot, which is closing on January 18th! So sad. Ugh, I also don't understand why they're taking these beauties off and replacing them with Shrek and Spiderman and all that. If anyone wants to hear a few descriptions of LB's last performance last night, go to the link below. It's really sweet. I'm bummed that there weren't any speeches though:

AH all my favorite shows are closing/have closed. Except Wicked and Lion King, I suppose.

On a slightly different note- have you all read about Andrew Lloyd Webber's sequel to Phantom?

Added:Also I saw Young Frankenstein in July- it was fantastic- and still had original cast! (i.e. Megan Mullally)
It sounds like it would be hokey- and it was, but I love the movie, so it didn't matter. The songs were catchy, too.

A SEQUEL TO PHANTOM?!

A SEQUEL TO PHANTOM?!

Yeah he talked about it not too long ago. I don't remember what it's about but if I find it.

Side note: I was a little bummed when I saw Phantom on broadway. The voices really bothered me they were almost too opera, vibrato (I think). Not smooth and silky.

Oh...I really liked it! The movie is okay...if Gerard Butler could sing, that is!

 

[StitchfansJr]

*still hasn't seen Phantom of the Opera yet..*

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

Oh yes. But the movie had fantastic imagery. I get chills during the scene after the auction house- where the overture is playing full blast and the Opera house turns back in time.
